Happy Leap Day.

. .. ... .... .....

My phobia is back again... And it's been haunting me.

The only non-living thing in this world that I fear the most - my cello.

No doubt it brings me much joy... But also, very much more agony.

Recently, someone came up to me and said, "Aileen, keep up the good work... I can see that you're on fire."

It caught me off guard. So I simply went "Oh?" in an unintentional nonchalant manner.

Under 'normal' circumstances, I would smile and say my thank you.

Oh well... Those little encouragements are what keep me going when I feel like giving up. Yup, feel like... And not want to because I never thought of giving up on things I have set my heart into doing.

I have to be strong and fight on... Well, everyone has to.
